PVO participated in this annual event led by Poway resident Susie Mullin and the City of Poway. Donations were solicited from area residents and these funds were used to purchase Christmas gifts for active duty Marine Corps families residing at Marine Corps Air Station, Miramar. A total of more than $7,000 worth of Christmas gifts and military commissary gift cards were presented to these military families. PVO also coordinated the collection of donations and disbursed the donated funds for purchasing family holiday gifts.
